At least every second woman and almost every man (according to some data, up to 96%) regularly engages in solo sex. If you’re not one of them, perhaps masturbation is simply uncomfortable for you. Literally.
To get maximum pleasure from the process, it’s important to do it in a comfortable position. Here are time-tested options, proven by millions of people, suitable for both women and men.
1. On the back
Lie on your back, bend your knees, and reach your hand toward your perineum. That’s it, you’ve got the starting position. Now add some lubricant to make your palm glide better and your fingers easier to reach the most intimate spots. With a little imagination and plenty of vigorous movements, orgasm will be yours.
If you decide to use a vibrator, choose one with a downward-curved head. This shape makes it easier to access the most sensitive areas of the perineum.
2. On your back with your legs raised
This position is similar to the previous one, but offers a few additional bonuses. First, lifting your legs will make it easier to reach your perineum with your hand or a vibrator. Second, this position allows you to squeeze your thighs comfortably, and the tightness can intensify the sensations. Third, you can do it hands-free: insert the vibrator inside or place it on your perineum, squeeze your thighs so the toy doesn’t slip, and enjoy the sensations.
3. Sitting
Sit up straight with your knees apart—the wider, the better. This position is perfect for masturbating at a table, on a bed in front of a mirror (by the way, try it: watching your own fingers do something in your crotch can be incredibly arousing), or, excuse me, on the toilet.
4. Half-sitting
Sit up straight, then lean back, resting your shoulders on a stack of pillows, the back of the sofa, or a wall, and spread your legs slightly. In this position, your most sensitive erogenous zones are literally within reach.
Half-sitting is the most comfortable position if you like to relax and masturbate while watching a TV series or some exciting video from the Internet.
5. Sitting with crossed legs
Ideally, you should assume the lotus position—sitting with your feet pressed together. In this position, your knees are spread wide apart, allowing access to the perineum, and your pelvic floor muscles are tightened. Blood flows to the pelvic area, the genitals become more sensitive, and orgasm becomes easier and more intense.
If you can’t get into the classic lotus position, simply cross your legs at the ankles. The effect won’t be as pronounced, but it’s similar.
6. On the stomach
Lie on your back and place your hand underneath you, in your perineum. This position is ideal for women to caress their clitoris and insert fingers into their vagina. A man can cup his penis with his hand—then, when moving his hips, the sensations will be similar to those experienced during traditional penetrative sex with a partner.
To increase the stimulating pressure on the clitoris or penis, place a pillow under your hips.
7. On horseback
Roll a thick towel into a tight roll, straddle it, and begin moving your hips as if in a traditional cowgirl position. Rhythmic pressure on your genitals (clitoris, vulva, penis, testicles) will quickly bring you to orgasm.
You can wrap a switched-on vibrator in a towel to make the sensations even more intense.
8. On all fours in the bathroom
Almost everyone knows how to masturbate with a shower stream. But the most comfortable method is as follows: Fill the bathtub about halfway and place the shower head on the bottom, directing the stream upward. Get on all fours so your perineum is above the stream, spread your thighs slightly, and find the position that gives you the most pleasure.
